SAFETY FEATURES
• Boiler pressure safety valve.
• Pressure gauge.
• Boiler thermostat.
• Auto thermostat cut out.
USAGE - This appliance must only be used for its designated purpose: a steam
generator with vacuum and cleaning accessories. The manufacturer will not be held
liable for any damages arising from the improper, incorrect or unreasonable use of
this appliance.
POWER SUPPLY - Before connecting the appliance, check that the data on the
voltage rating plate are the same as the electrical supply. The rating plate is found
at the rear of the steam cleaner. THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE GROUNDED. Use of a
ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) for additional safety is strongly recommended.
The following rules must be observed when using
this appliance:
• Never use the appliance barefooted, or in wet ambient conditions.
• Never use power supply extension cords without appropriate safety marks
(CE, UL, IMQ-VDE, BS, etc.).
• Always check daily before use that the power supply cord, plug and sockets
(including any extension cords) are in good condition; check for visible signs of
damage and do not use if damaged or faulty.
• Never pull at the power supply cord, and never allow it to rub against sharp
edges, or get caught between doors or drawers; protect the cord from heat,
stress and moisture, and route away from paths/work areas.
• Never allow children or inexperienced, untrained, or unauthorized people access
to this appliance.
• Never leave the GVC-1502-VAC unguarded when switched on.
• Never leave it unprotected from adverse weather conditions (rain, ice, etc.).
• Never allow any part if this appliance to be immersed in liquid.
• Always ensure the GVC-1502-VAC is kept upright, even when not switched on.
Use only authorized parts, components and accessories with this appliance. For
instance, should the power supply cord become damaged, it must be replaced only
with the correct cord, obtainable (as with all components, parts and accessories) from
Goodway Technologies Corp.
Always unplug at the power supply;
• Before emptying the boiler.
• Before cleaning or servicing the appliance.
• Before parts are exchanged or removed.
The steam temperature can reach 320°F (160 °C) at the outlet, so never point the steam
in your direction, at other people or animals, as this presents a real danger of scalding.

GVC-1502-VAC 0920 5
• In the event of breakdown or malfunction, switch off the GVC-1502-VAC and
contact Goodway Technologies Corp. Customer Service Department.
• Electrical appliances and ttings (TV, radio, lights, etc,) should never be
cleaned with steam, even when not connected to a power supply. Exercise
extreme caution when cleaning xed electrical plant equipment; if in any doubt
contact the relevant suppliers.
• Do not put any detergent or other chemical substances (especially perfumed)
in the water canister, as noxious gases can arise due to the high temperature.
• Both main ‘on/off’ and pistol-grip switch must be off (‘OFF’) when connecting
steam hose to the GVC-1502-VAC.
• Ensure that the accessories are securely connected into the pistol-grip, by
pulling both parts against each other to ensure a tight t.
• Exercise care when accessing internal components. For instance, steam-
associated components (e.g. drain screw) get very hot during operation and
cools down very slowly after use.
• Do not use on or near heat sensitive materials; this may damage
such materials!!
• If you are unsure whether the material you want to clean is suitable for dry
vapor steam cleaning, check rst with a trial application on a small unobtrusive
piece of the same material.
• Do not use the small round metal brush on scratch-sensitive materials.
• Exercise utmost care when cleaning windows or glass surfaces in low
temperatures; warm the surfaces with steam beforehand to reduce the
possibility of damage and injury.
• The GVC-1502-VAC must never be immersed in water. Failure to comply with
this warning will ENDANGER LIFE.
• Always store the GVC-1502-VAC in a safe, dry and frost-free place. Frozen
components can fail. Exercise care when storing directly after use as residual
heat remains for some time.
• For the GVC-1502-VAC to work efciently the ambient temperature should be
between 50°F (10°C) and 104°F (40°C) with humidity lower than 90%.
NOTE: Deionized and distilled water should never be used in the GVC-1502-VAC.
POWER CONNECTIONS
The GVC-1502-VAC is supplied with 13 feet (4 m) of cable and has a 15A three
pin plug.
Ensure voltage between machine and supply match.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualied
electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
If the tools should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low
resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.

EMPTYING THE COLLECTION TANK DURING CLEANING
(VACUUMATED ONLY)
It will be necessary to empty the waste tank after each use . This will prevent any
blockages or unnecessary interruptions while the machine is in use.
If the waste tank is not emptied regularly, an automatic cut off oat mechanism will
activate. Switch off the heating, then the main on/off switch. It is recommended also
to disconnect unit from the mains power supply.
Open the Vac housing to gain access to the waste tank and remove the lid. Use
fresh tap water to rinse out the waste water tank and the tap. Remove any items
from inside the tank that are likely to cause a blockage. Replace the waste tank and
ret the motor housing. Reconnect the power, switch on the main on/off switch and
wait for the pump to cease operating and then switch on the Heating.
Ensure that the lid and the locking clips are always installed correctly and keep all
other objects out of the area. Never put anything on or around the tank as this may
affect the performance of the unit.
Remove vac unit from the
support frame.
Unclip and remove the
vacuum motor head.
Empty the collection tank
and clean thoroughly, also
cleaning the lter.
